Bigfoot Encounters And Experiences In Oklahoma! (The Kiamichi River Southeastern Oklahoma!)

<v Speaker 1>Hey guys, and welcome to another Sasquatch Theory podcast. On
<v Speaker 1>this episode, we have Steve from Oklahoma and he had
<v Speaker 1>several bigfoot encounters and experiences in the Kaimichi National Forest.
<v Speaker 1>I have heard a lot of reports from the Kaimichi
<v Speaker 1>National Forest and it seems like it's a great place
<v Speaker 1>to look for bigfoot. There are some researchers here in
<v Speaker 1>Missouri that travel to the area looking for sasquatch creatures
<v Speaker 1>and they claim they've had some encounters and experiences themselves,
<v Speaker 1>and this place could possibly be loaded with these creatures.
<v Speaker 1>If you have had a bigfoot encounter in Oklahoma that
<v Speaker 1>you would like to share with me, please contact me
<v Speaker 1>sometime at Sasquatch Theory at outlook dot com. All right, guys,
<v Speaker 1>let's dive into Steve's bigfoot encounters from the state of Oklahoma.
<v Speaker 1>All right, Steve, welcome Sasquatch Theory. How are you doing today.
<v Speaker 2>I'm doing great, Thank you. How are you doing tonight?
<v Speaker 1>I'm doing pretty good. Thanks for asking, Steve if you
<v Speaker 1>would tell me a little bit about yourself and your
<v Speaker 1>big fit encounters and experiences from the very beginning. Please.
<v Speaker 2>All right, Well, my name is Steve Britt and I
<v Speaker 2>travel a lot. I've been up to Washington, lived up
<v Speaker 2>there for ten years or so and had an experience
<v Speaker 2>up there. I've lived in Florida for like thirty years
<v Speaker 2>and had an experience there. And I've lived in Oklahoma
<v Speaker 2>for about I'll see, I guess that only leaves about
<v Speaker 2>twelve years. As a kid, I was there from you know,
<v Speaker 2>until I was like ten, and then me and my mom,
<v Speaker 2>after my dad passed away, moved to Washington. But when
<v Speaker 2>I was a kid, we went camping a lot and
<v Speaker 2>that type of stuff, but never really had a Bigfoot
<v Speaker 2>experience in Oklahoma when I was a kid, But I did,
<v Speaker 2>you know, of course, got interested in Bigfoot with this
<v Speaker 2>is back in the seventies for them fifty five now,
<v Speaker 2>and you know, the legends of your Body Creek and
<v Speaker 2>that type of stuff and a few other a few
<v Speaker 2>other stories got me interested. I'm not really sure if
<v Speaker 2>it was before or after I watched the movies and
<v Speaker 2>read stories and books about Bigfoot that I had my dreams.
<v Speaker 2>But I had a reoccurring dream where I'm like walking
<v Speaker 2>across this big green field and out of the other
<v Speaker 2>side of the field comes a big, tall, brown creature
<v Speaker 2>Bigfoot and seize me and starts heading for me, you know,
<v Speaker 2>and there of course scared the poop out of me,
<v Speaker 2>and I wake up just like to do. And I
<v Speaker 2>had that dream more than once, and that got me
<v Speaker 2>brilli intrigued, you know, and interested in Bigfoot. So from
<v Speaker 2>there on, I was always watching the the you know,
<v Speaker 2>in search of stuff, you know, with Leonard Demoy and
<v Speaker 2>the the Lockness Monster, all that kind of stuff. I
<v Speaker 2>was interested in all that stuff, but mainly Bigfoot. Bigfoot
<v Speaker 2>always was like intrigued me the most. And when I
<v Speaker 2>was a kid, you know, my da, like I said,
<v Speaker 2>my dad passed away, and about nineteen eighty we moved
<v Speaker 2>to Washington State and my aunt and uncle had about
<v Speaker 2>fifteen acres up in the Olympic National Rainforest, and my
<v Speaker 2>mom bought a couple acres off of them and we
<v Speaker 2>cleared it and put a mobile home on it. And
<v Speaker 2>that took, you know, that touch a couple of months
<v Speaker 2>to get all that done. In the meantime, we stayed
<v Speaker 2>in their house, and when the mobile home was finally done,
<v Speaker 2>we got to move into it and move into our area,
<v Speaker 2>which was on the other side of the fifteen acres
<v Speaker 2>lots of woods. I mean you could. I could walk
<v Speaker 2>out my back door and go hiking half a day,
<v Speaker 2>turn around and come back and never hit a fence.
<v Speaker 2>It was awesome out there, and giant trees, big as
<v Speaker 2>you can imagine. And one night, probably maybe a month
<v Speaker 2>after we moved in, I'm sleeping the dogs are We
<v Speaker 2>had German ships out of their doghouses. That was just
<v Speaker 2>just like it was like a loud whale moaning and
<v Speaker 2>nothing like I ever heard, you know, I've been I've
<v Speaker 2>heard coyotes, I've heard mountain lions, I've heard just about
<v Speaker 2>everything out there, bobcats and she you know, and had
<v Speaker 2>run in is with most of the stuff too, And
<v Speaker 2>that was just freaked me out. It was a loud,
<v Speaker 2>moaning whale and then it ended in like a high
<v Speaker 2>pinched I can't even explain it, like a high pitched whealing,
<v Speaker 2>like it was mad, like or maybe something smaller was
<v Speaker 2>with it, and like they were mad that we were
<v Speaker 2>on there her or something because we had to clear
<v Speaker 2>an acre out. And I mean, it scared me so bad.
<v Speaker 2>I ended up going to sleeping in my mom's bedroom
<v Speaker 2>and that was pretty wicked, I thought, you know, and
<v Speaker 2>I never really heard much anything else about it or
<v Speaker 2>any more sounds or anything like that, and looks for signs.
<v Speaker 2>I always went hiking, but of course you never go
<v Speaker 2>out at night. I live by that rule when you're
<v Speaker 2>in the mountains in the woods, don't go messing around
<v Speaker 2>at night, you know, of course, And of course you
<v Speaker 2>hear older people say, don't go messing around at night
<v Speaker 2>because the burgers will get you. And so, you know,
<v Speaker 2>if I did anything at night, it was with somebody,
<v Speaker 2>and it was just to walk between my place and
<v Speaker 2>our place and my aunt's place to go visit my
<v Speaker 2>cousins and stuff, you know, that type of stuff, and
<v Speaker 2>or we'd meet halfway. Something like that. Well, not really
<v Speaker 2>didn't really even have too much of an experience. We
<v Speaker 2>found some cool stuff. One time we was out hiking
<v Speaker 2>and there was just this through the woods. There was
<v Speaker 2>this hole that looked like somebody took a giant six
<v Speaker 2>foot cannonball and just shot it through the woods and
<v Speaker 2>it was just a hole through the woods, through the
<v Speaker 2>forest as far as you could see. We followed it
<v Speaker 2>for half a day and it didn't end when we
<v Speaker 2>came back. It was probably deer, you know, maybe my
<v Speaker 2>grating or something like that, which was still pretty cool,
<v Speaker 2>but normally you had to chop your way through the
<v Speaker 2>woods and through this thing, we just had a huge
<v Speaker 2>hole that was tall in the center of it. At
<v Speaker 2>all well, I left out of park. So when my
<v Speaker 2>dad first passed away, my mom took me and my
<v Speaker 2>brother and my sister on a road trip to see
<v Speaker 2>all of our relatives. And this was in Washington. At
<v Speaker 2>the time. We lived in Oklahoma, and at the time
<v Speaker 2>we were in Oklahoma, and we flew to Washington and my
<v Speaker 2>grandma and grandpa were caretakers at a National park in
<v Speaker 2>a lake which was called Horseshoe Lake up in Washington State,
<v Speaker 2>and that was really neat. Being ten years old and
<v Speaker 2>going up there for the first time and seeing all
<v Speaker 2>that that was really neat. So I had pretty much
<v Speaker 2>run of the park after the park closed down, and
<v Speaker 2>one day my grandparents' friends came over and got us
<v Speaker 2>and they're like, we got something to show you that
<v Speaker 2>you're really gonna love. And they were actually park rangers
<v Speaker 2>at the other side of the parks the National park
<v Speaker 2>at another labor and we all jumped in the back
<v Speaker 2>of the truck to the back. Then we could ride
<v Speaker 2>in the back of pickup trusts and stuff, and don't
<v Speaker 2>be a deal. We all jumped in the back of
<v Speaker 2>the truck and we took about, I don't know, a
<v Speaker 2>five mile ride down a dirt road and then another
<v Speaker 2>maybe mile hike down down a path trail, and we've
<v Speaker 2>got to this park where these trees maybe stick hit
<v Speaker 2>stick or more trees pine trees about higher than I
<v Speaker 2>could reach at the time. At that high, they were
<v Speaker 2>just twisted and they were all laid down in like
<v Speaker 2>a rectangle with a whole bunch of with the branches
<v Speaker 2>shaved off and put across like beds, and these were
<v Speaker 2>like seven eight foot beds. There was a couple of them,
<v Speaker 2>which was really neat. We didn't really we didn't see
<v Speaker 2>any tracks or anything because of the pine needles and
<v Speaker 2>stuff covered the ground, so you didn't really see any indents.
<v Speaker 2>They just pushed down and fluffed back up like a sponge.
<v Speaker 2>But that was really neat. And we went back and
<v Speaker 2>I didn't really see anything anymore after that, but that
<v Speaker 2>really got me going after that, And then after we
<v Speaker 2>went back to Oklahoma, my mom was like, how would
<v Speaker 2>you like to move to Washington come back up to
<v Speaker 2>that area and I'm like, oh, yeah, that would be awesome,
<v Speaker 2>you know. After that, and that's when we moved back
<v Speaker 2>up there. Well, when I was about fifteen sixteen, me
<v Speaker 2>and my friend Mary, we got a canoe. There was
<v Speaker 2>this lake and it's called Three Fingers Lake. One looked
<v Speaker 2>like something off I think it was Friday the thirteenth
<v Speaker 2>or Halloween lake that had all these little stumps poking
<v Speaker 2>up out of it. It was really creepy, and then
<v Speaker 2>you would go across it to this one spot and
<v Speaker 2>then you would have to like drag your canoe over
<v Speaker 2>logs and everything, and you get back to the second lake,
<v Speaker 2>which was kind of nicer, not as creepy, and then
<v Speaker 2>you'd get back to the third one and it was
<v Speaker 2>just a beautiful lake with no logs or anything. There's
<v Speaker 2>a giant beaver damn on it. A big eagle was
<v Speaker 2>up on this neft on the top of a tree,
<v Speaker 2>and there was this little jetty that poked out and
<v Speaker 2>we set up camp on it, and our friends were
<v Speaker 2>supposed to meet south there later on that evening before dark.
<v Speaker 2>It was supposed to be there before dark, but they
<v Speaker 2>ended up not being there before dark, and it was
<v Speaker 2>so quiet out there. We told them, you know, when
<v Speaker 2>you get there, just home with the horn and we'll
<v Speaker 2>come back across the ditch. And but we were expecting
<v Speaker 2>this to be in the daytime and not after dark.
<v Speaker 2>They go across these lakes in a canoe and some
<v Speaker 2>went down, and we're looking at each other's like where
<v Speaker 2>are these these where are these guys at? And they, uh, Finally,
<v Speaker 2>you know, after you know, about an hour or two
<v Speaker 2>into darkness, we heard the horn hank and we're like,
<v Speaker 2>all right, we got to do this. So we get
<v Speaker 2>back in the canoe and we head back. First, you know,
<v Speaker 2>the lake we was on was so nice, it was
<v Speaker 2>no big deal. We get back to the second lake
<v Speaker 2>and we're in the middle of this lake and all
<v Speaker 2>of a sudden, not ten from and there was bog
<v Speaker 2>on top of the lake as well. So Mary was
<v Speaker 2>in the front guiding me so we didn't hit any
<v Speaker 2>stumper logs or anything like that. As I'm rolling the
<v Speaker 2>canoe and steering not ten feet from the canoe, we
<v Speaker 2>hear this like a big old flat rock just splash,
<v Speaker 2>hit the hit the water, and we looked at each
<v Speaker 2>other with the biggest white eyes like, holy bolly, he
<v Speaker 2>is going on tell them, what the heck that could
<v Speaker 2>be like throwing a rock for fish, And so we're
<v Speaker 2>a little tense and we keep going across it. Next
<v Speaker 2>thing we know what happened to begin. We call them
<v Speaker 2>kirk plunks. This is the kerk plunk story. And it
<v Speaker 2>happened maybe five times on that lake. And then we
<v Speaker 2>get on the first lake that we've got on, you know,
<v Speaker 2>to come out there where he's going to pick them
<v Speaker 2>up on the other side of the lake, and it
<v Speaker 2>didn't happen near the which was weird. And when we
<v Speaker 2>got into the middle of the lake, it was even closer.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it was like five six people, but we
<v Speaker 2>couldn't see it because of the fog on top of
<v Speaker 2>the mist on top of the lake. We couldn't even
<v Speaker 2>see the water, couldn't see the splashes. We just heard them.
<v Speaker 2>Scared the proof out of us. So we get back.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that happened like ten times across that lake.
<v Speaker 2>And we get back to pick our friends up and
<v Speaker 2>we're telling them about this and they're like, yeah, you
<v Speaker 2>guys are callucidting and you know, there's no way that
<v Speaker 2>could happen, and we're like absolutely, I'm like, you guys, wait, here,
<v Speaker 2>I'm going back to my house real fast, and I'm
<v Speaker 2>going to get my pistol and I'll be right back.
<v Speaker 2>So got back. We all loaded up in the canoe
<v Speaker 2>going back across, and sure enough, towards the middle of
<v Speaker 2>the lake or splash and the one guy about tip
<v Speaker 2>this over and move like it's scared him so bad.
<v Speaker 2>And then Alan grabs Bill paulsing back down, you know,
<v Speaker 2>to sit down, like sit down before you kill us
<v Speaker 2>at continue. So we were luckily going across both those
<v Speaker 2>makes where we were camping at it, and it didn't
<v Speaker 2>happen in a certainly, which was weird, and we camped
<v Speaker 2>overnight and that type of stuff, and then went home
<v Speaker 2>went home the next day. But we never really we
<v Speaker 2>never knew what the heck was doing then, you know,
<v Speaker 2>maybe beaver beaver tail splashing their tail to warn other beaver,
<v Speaker 2>you know that we were on the where they were
<v Speaker 2>trying to scare us off or something like that or
<v Speaker 2>something still in rock sets, but nothing really messed with us.
<v Speaker 2>And of course we had alcohol and stuff, so even
<v Speaker 2>if something wasn't gonna mess with us, we probably wouldn't
<v Speaker 2>have noticed because we were too drunk by the time
<v Speaker 2>we went to sleep, just passed out. But that was
<v Speaker 2>a pretty wicked experience right there, and we but theyll
<v Speaker 2>never really saw anything or hurt maybe. I moved back
<v Speaker 2>to Oklahoma and stayed there for like a year. Didn't
<v Speaker 2>really had to work all the time, so it didn't
<v Speaker 2>really do much, and then moved to Florida. And it
<v Speaker 2>was about thirty years before I retired and decided to
<v Speaker 2>hit the road. Bottom Motorcycle packed it up. Had a
<v Speaker 2>best the eleven hundred sports touring bike that had like
<v Speaker 2>a seven point five gallon tank the three hundred mile
<v Speaker 2>range and it was pretty neat. It was like a
<v Speaker 2>little bit smaller than a gold Wing, but it was awesome.
<v Speaker 2>And I went around Florida for a few years and
<v Speaker 2>camped all over the place. First started out with state
<v Speaker 2>parks and then went to preserves and that type of stuff.
<v Speaker 2>And I was a just preserved called Flying Eagle Preserve
<v Speaker 2>in the swamps up in northern Florida, and I was
<v Speaker 2>there for about three weeks and one night I woke
<v Speaker 2>up about four o'clock in the morning and there were
<v Speaker 2>pebbles hitting my tent, like every twenty seconds a pebble
<v Speaker 2>had hit my tent. And rolled out the same spot
<v Speaker 2>and rhythmic, you know, every twenty seconds. I wasn't underneath
<v Speaker 2>a tree, so there wasn't anything falling from the tree.
<v Speaker 2>Everybody says all it was probably a squirrel. Squirrels aren't
<v Speaker 2>out at four o'clock in the morning for one And
<v Speaker 2>I laid there for another thirty minutes to listen, then
<v Speaker 2>didn't hear anything else doesn't happen, and then finally these back
<v Speaker 2>and offer woke up in the morning and didn't rain.
<v Speaker 2>It was dry as a bone, and there was this
<v Speaker 2>huge wet spot by my tent. It was big, a
<v Speaker 2>big wet spot, probably a good three foot sir, you
<v Speaker 2>know across, and there was a stick in the middle
<v Speaker 2>of it. And I'm like, you know, that's kind of odd.
<v Speaker 2>There's just a wet spot right there and nowhere else
<v Speaker 2>is what and there's it's not underneath the tree or anything.
<v Speaker 2>Picked up that stick and I smelt it to see
<v Speaker 2>what kind of liquid was, and it was like some
<v Speaker 2>swizz right beside. Whatever it was was big because it
<v Speaker 2>beat a lot, and that was like, this is awesome.
<v Speaker 2>I can't wait because I'm gonna stay here or another
<v Speaker 2>you know, I've got another three four weeks that I'm
<v Speaker 2>gonna stay there, so if this is happening, I can't
<v Speaker 2>wait to see what's gonna happen, you know. And then
<v Speaker 2>over the next couple of weeks, well two days later,
<v Speaker 2>it is when COVID stuff started and all of a sudden,
<v Speaker 2>get an email. When I was I was in town,
<v Speaker 2>took my bike in town to get a Hamburger, and
<v Speaker 2>I got an email in town saying that all of
<v Speaker 2>my reservations at the Flying Acre Preserved was canceled. And
<v Speaker 2>I was so bummed. It's like, whoa, due to COVID,
<v Speaker 2>you have to go back to the city, Like you
<v Speaker 2>gotta be kidding me. I don't want to go back
<v Speaker 2>to the city. And they closed down every state park,
<v Speaker 2>every preserve, anywhere to camp, all everybody's camping everything in
<v Speaker 2>the state of Florida. They closed them down. They shut
<v Speaker 2>them down. And I talked to the park ranger when
<v Speaker 2>I got back out there, and I asked him about,
<v Speaker 2>you know, is there any bears they see any cougars,
<v Speaker 2>panthers out there? And He's like, sure, they're out here,
<v Speaker 2>but you're not going to see them. You're not gonna
<v Speaker 2>You're not going to come around your camp and I
<v Speaker 2>told him about the big pea spot. He looked at
<v Speaker 2>me like that I was wacky. So I'm right, okay,
<v Speaker 2>well whatever. I talked to him about the reservations. He's like, Nope,
<v Speaker 2>everybody's got to go. We're locking the gates, not letting
<v Speaker 2>anybody in. And it's like, well, that's kind of lame. Oh,
<v Speaker 2>So I decided. Then my brother lived in Oklahoma, Oklahoma City,
<v Speaker 2>and so I made the decision. I'm like, you know,
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna get out of Florida then, and I'm going
<v Speaker 2>to Oklahoma. So I packed all my stuff up, went
<v Speaker 2>to town and told my brother. And in September, we
<v Speaker 2>were outriding ATVs and I busted my foot in my
<v Speaker 2>ankle and I couldn't ride, you know, and that was
<v Speaker 2>stuck there. So I'm like, well, poop. So I sold
<v Speaker 2>my motorcycle and I bought a little Chevy Tracker, this
<v Speaker 2>four wheel drive, and I put you know, I rebuilt it,
<v Speaker 2>got some big tires and put it on it. And
<v Speaker 2>I was like, well, if I can't ride my motorcycle,
<v Speaker 2>then I'm going to go explore in Oklahoma with my
<v Speaker 2>you know, with a four wheel drive and something just
<v Speaker 2>kept go to Southeast Oklahoma. Where's my mind? I'm con gym.
<v Speaker 2>So I'm just like, you know, I'm going to go
<v Speaker 2>to Oklahoma. And I found this garment garment explorer that
<v Speaker 2>had gpx's that had sixteen hundred miles or more of
<v Speaker 2>dirt roads that circumnavigated Oklahoma. So I'm like, all right,
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna I'm going to hit all the dirt roads
<v Speaker 2>as many as I can. And I did, you know,
<v Speaker 2>northern Oklahoma. I did a little bit of eastern Oklahoma.
<v Speaker 2>I did some southwest Oklahoma and northwest Oklahoma. Was this
<v Speaker 2>desert and stand due and something like that. That's no,
<v Speaker 2>there's no point in going there. So the last area
<v Speaker 2>to explore was southeast Oklahoma. So I went down there
<v Speaker 2>and stayed at this Kyamichi let's see, the Kiamechi River campground.
<v Speaker 2>I stayed there for a few weeks and I checked
<v Speaker 2>out some areas and I found about, I don't know,
<v Speaker 2>it was about eight or nine mountains out there, maybe
<v Speaker 2>well over hundred thousand acres. That was just It used
<v Speaker 2>to be a national park back in the early nineteen hundreds,
<v Speaker 2>but his family bought it and they owned every bit
<v Speaker 2>of property out there other than this log and company,
<v Speaker 2>which actually the log and company leased it from this
<v Speaker 2>other company, and it was all private property, so I
<v Speaker 2>couldn't really just go out there and trespass and take
<v Speaker 2>all the dirt roads that I that I mapped out,
<v Speaker 2>and so I went back to my brother's house for
<v Speaker 2>about a month and I started a plan to get
<v Speaker 2>out there, you know. So first thing, I started looking
<v Speaker 2>for some property for sale out there, and I found
<v Speaker 2>forty acres right smack dab in the middle of those
<v Speaker 2>mount the Realer God Company, and they're like, apsolutely, go
<v Speaker 2>look at that forty acres, but you know, you're on
<v Speaker 2>your own to go look at it. We're not going
<v Speaker 2>to go out there with to get there, I'm like,
<v Speaker 2>they're like, and other people owned the property, so you
<v Speaker 2>got to get permission from them as well to cross
<v Speaker 2>their property because it was landmarks. So I found they.
<v Speaker 2>I did some research and I found the company that
<v Speaker 2>owned all the property. I got a hold of them
<v Speaker 2>and they're like, well, we leased it out to this
<v Speaker 2>logging company. Gave me the phone number to talk to them.
<v Speaker 2>I call them, and this country lady that was sweet
<v Speaker 2>as could be. I was talking to her and I'm like, well,
<v Speaker 2>I found forty acres of it out there, but I
<v Speaker 2>got across your property to get to it, you know.
<v Speaker 2>And she's like, well, that's okay. She's like, I'll let
<v Speaker 2>them know that you're going to be out there, and
<v Speaker 2>told it the it's a lot of driving, and she's like,
<v Speaker 2>that is not a problem, you know. And then I
<v Speaker 2>found the family that owned the rest of the properties
<v Speaker 2>and I had to cross their properties as well. I
<v Speaker 2>got a hold of them and they were they were
<v Speaker 2>nice as could be too, and they're like absolutely, you know.
<v Speaker 2>They're they're like a stick to the roads, don't go exploring,
<v Speaker 2>you know, don't go where you're not supposed to be.
<v Speaker 2>Gave me good advice, and I said absolutely, I'm just
<v Speaker 2>going out there to look at that property and I
<v Speaker 2>need to cross your guys's property. So and they're like, well,
<v Speaker 2>when you get out there, there's a man at the
<v Speaker 2>top of the hill with a big at the iron gate,
<v Speaker 2>and if that iron gates closed, you just let him
<v Speaker 2>know if for you to go out there, and you
<v Speaker 2>shouldn't be out there. So I had written permission to
<v Speaker 2>go out there. So I'm like I'm in, I'm gonna
<v Speaker 2>go out there and explore every inch of this there.
<v Speaker 2>I don't care. And so I went back out to
<v Speaker 2>the Kayamichi Kai Eats You River Campground and reserved the
<v Speaker 2>spot for three weeks out there, and from there I
<v Speaker 2>started going. First, I went to the kaim Etsy Wilderness
<v Speaker 2>Community and started driving through there. Didn't really find anybody
<v Speaker 2>to talk to until, like I don't know, maybe five
<v Speaker 2>days in. After it'sploring a bunch of roads and stuff.
<v Speaker 2>I come down this one road and it wasn't really
<v Speaker 2>a road that was I mean, you couldn't go down
<v Speaker 2>it with a normal car. And there's like this little cabin.
<v Speaker 2>So I'm there, pretty good, how you do it? He's like, well,
<v Speaker 2>pretty good. He's like I can't believe there's somebody out here.
<v Speaker 2>He's like, nobody comes out here. You're actually the first
<v Speaker 2>visitor i've hat out here. Ever. I'm like, well that's great.
<v Speaker 2>I said, I've been out here for five days looking
<v Speaker 2>for somebody to talk to. He's like, well, it's probably
<v Speaker 2>it's about normal. And he actually was only there for
<v Speaker 2>a few months year. He lived in Texas, and I
<v Speaker 2>just caught him at the right time and he's like, well,
<v Speaker 2>come on and have a beer, you know, and I
<v Speaker 2>had to sit down. Let's let's talk if you've got time,
<v Speaker 2>and I'm like absolutely, so I don't go have a
<v Speaker 2>go sit by the fire. And he's going to bring
<v Speaker 2>me a beer, but I'm like, I don't really drink beer,
<v Speaker 2>but if you got whiskey or something like that, I
<v Speaker 2>don't mind sifting some whiskey. He's like absolutely, So he
<v Speaker 2>brings out a little bottle of Jack Daniels and a
<v Speaker 2>few cups and like, right on, that's that's my stuff.
<v Speaker 2>And when we start talking and I get to the question,
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, so, have you seen anything weird around here?
<v Speaker 2>And he's like, well, what do you mean by weird?
<v Speaker 2>I said, well, have you seen like any bigfoot or
<v Speaker 2>any activity like that out here? He's like, well, I'm
<v Speaker 2>glad that you mentioned because I've been dying to tell
<v Speaker 2>people about it. He said yes. He's like, I've got
<v Speaker 2>something that comes through every morning or my barrel that
<v Speaker 2>they got out here, and I just I mean, it's
<v Speaker 2>to the point now I just say good morning, you know,
<v Speaker 2>to whatever it is, and then go back to sleep
<v Speaker 2>and don't hear anything else the rest of the morning.
<v Speaker 2>He's like, we leave food out and stuff, you know,
<v Speaker 2>but who knows what's eating the food? Of course, there's
<v Speaker 2>so many animals out there. And then he's like, and
<v Speaker 2>this is even weirder his fire, and this light starts
<v Speaker 2>coming up where I saw you coming up. He's like,
<v Speaker 2>that's who I thought. This is what I thought you were.
<v Speaker 2>He's like, I thought it was the motorcycle at first,
<v Speaker 2>because it was just a single light about three I
<v Speaker 2>foot off the ground coming up the road. And he's like,
<v Speaker 2>I watched it and it made no sound whatsoever. And
<v Speaker 2>it went by my house and there was that way
<v Speaker 2>and he pointed out that one that hasn't been there
<v Speaker 2>in like twenty something years, he said, And there was
<v Speaker 2>some dilapidated cars, like olden camper, a tractor and that
<v Speaker 2>type of stuff. And you can tell by the gate
<v Speaker 2>and the lock that nobody's been out there touching that
<v Speaker 2>lock for a long time. And I'm like, I'm like,
<v Speaker 2>that's pretty awesome. That's what I want to hear. And
<v Speaker 2>he's like, and then it happened again. He's like, and
<v Speaker 2>this time I had a few beers in me, and
<v Speaker 2>he said, this light started coming up the road again.
<v Speaker 2>So I walked out there and I stood in front
<v Speaker 2>of it. He said, it got to about ten feet
<v Speaker 2>from me, it stopped and just started going back the
<v Speaker 2>other way and then disappeared in the woods. He's like,
<v Speaker 2>there again, there wasn't anything in front of it, and
<v Speaker 2>there wasn't anything back of it. It was just a
<v Speaker 2>m that was floating down the the road, you know.
<v Speaker 2>And I'm like, that's pretty awesome. That's that's the type
<v Speaker 2>of stories that I want to hear, you know. And
<v Speaker 2>we talked a little bit more, and I told him,
<v Speaker 2>you know, that's why I'm out there, and I would
<v Speaker 2>really love, you know, to hear more stories if he
<v Speaker 2>ever sees anything else. I gave him my phone number
<v Speaker 2>and that you know where. I went back out there
<v Speaker 2>and visited a few more times while I was there,
<v Speaker 2>and then he had to go back to Texas and
<v Speaker 2>I didn't see him again. Went back, you know, after
<v Speaker 2>we got to and then the next day, walking the
<v Speaker 2>road once looking to the kay meets you Wilder just
<v Speaker 2>the other somewhere else. So I'm like, I'm gonna take
<v Speaker 2>that road this time. And I already had it mapped out,
<v Speaker 2>and my apartment, even though you didn't have any service
<v Speaker 2>or anything. A garment was satellite, so it showed me
<v Speaker 2>every single road that was out there. So I basically
<v Speaker 2>did every road to the right thing. So as I
<v Speaker 2>went out there the next day, I just taking her
<v Speaker 2>roads to the right and then every road to the
<v Speaker 2>left until I come back to where I was at.
<v Speaker 2>And some of these roads weren't roads, and you couldn't
<v Speaker 2>go more than you know, two three more two three
<v Speaker 2>miles an hour on these roads in a four wheel drive,
<v Speaker 2>and some of them were just barely wide enough or
<v Speaker 2>like a side by side and by little Chevy trackers.
<v Speaker 2>And after, oh man, after doing that for about a
<v Speaker 2>week or so, I came to the top of one
<v Speaker 2>mountain and I found the gates that they were talking about.
<v Speaker 2>And then I looked to my right and there's this cabin,
<v Speaker 2>and I'm like, this is awesome. There's a whole bunch
<v Speaker 2>of junker ain't everywhere old stuff, and there was a
<v Speaker 2>log cabin and couldn't really tell if it was anybody
<v Speaker 2>lived there or not, but it was pretty well built.
<v Speaker 2>And I get up to that turn, you know, I
<v Speaker 2>turned up into there, and as I'm pulling up, this
<v Speaker 2>big old guy, I mean he was a big comes
<v Speaker 2>walking out and I'm just like, oh crap, I hope
<v Speaker 2>he's oning me, like, hey want to be names. I
<v Speaker 2>probably already said too much. If you're listening, don't don't
<v Speaker 2>go out there because they don't like visitors. So I
<v Speaker 2>gave him, you know, I said, I talked to the
<v Speaker 2>people that owned the property you mentioned their last name.
<v Speaker 2>Gave him, you know, the piece of paper that the
<v Speaker 2>realer gave me and the paper that I printed up
<v Speaker 2>that that the logging company gave me. And he looks
<v Speaker 2>at it and he's like, he's like, I ain't gonna
<v Speaker 2>do no good if such and such, and you know,
<v Speaker 2>that's fine by me. So I decided, you know, two
<v Speaker 2>hang out with him and talk to him for a
<v Speaker 2>little while. That day, well before I found him, there
<v Speaker 2>was this fire tower that I kept seeing as I
<v Speaker 2>was going around, you know, to get to the top
<v Speaker 2>of certain mountains and see this fire tower. It's like,
<v Speaker 2>I want, I want that fire tower. I want to
<v Speaker 2>get to that fire tower. Something's drawn me to that
<v Speaker 2>fire tower, and I got to get to that fire tower.
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to go up. I just want to
<v Speaker 2>get to where that fire tower is. And I finally
<v Speaker 2>found the gate or the road to the fire tower
<v Speaker 2>and there was a gate that was locked, and I'm like, well, poop,
<v Speaker 2>so much for that idea. So but when I finally,
<v Speaker 2>you know, found the old man on the top of
<v Speaker 2>the mountain and I got there, talked to him for
<v Speaker 2>a while and he's pretty nice, you know. So we
<v Speaker 2>talked and I asked him. I'm like, I finally got
<v Speaker 2>to the question after talking for a few hours on
<v Speaker 2>the back porch, and I was like, so, have you
<v Speaker 2>seen any weird strange stuff. He's like, I've been up
<v Speaker 2>here my whole life with no electricity, no nothing. He's like,
<v Speaker 2>you're gonna have to special you know what kind of
<v Speaker 2>strange stuff. I've seen a lot of strange stuff up here.
<v Speaker 2>Are you talking strange stuff that people do? I'm like,
<v Speaker 2>I can just imagine the strange stuff people do, but no,
<v Speaker 2>I'm talking about strange stuff, you know, you know the
<v Speaker 2>wilderness that's talking or But he's like he's an org
<v Speaker 2>and they said he's seen it going across a field
<v Speaker 2>and his grandparents told him that those are pumpkins and
<v Speaker 2>you don't mess with those pumpkins. And I was like,
<v Speaker 2>well that's pretty big me. And I said, well, how
<v Speaker 2>about any big furry creatures that aren't bears, you know,
<v Speaker 2>that aren't explainable. And he's like, well, he's like, I
<v Speaker 2>used to live over if I were on this other mountain.
<v Speaker 2>And he said, I lived there most of my life
<v Speaker 2>out there, and he said one night ends in the
<v Speaker 2>middle of the night. I don't know what time and
<v Speaker 2>time as it was. He just went by in this
<v Speaker 2>position of the sun. Never went to school of day
<v Speaker 2>in his life, lived up there his whole life, never
<v Speaker 2>had electricity, lived off of deer eating a rabbit. And
<v Speaker 2>he was a big guy. I mean, come to find
<v Speaker 2>out he was seventy years old. I thought he was
<v Speaker 2>like fifty. And he was broad at the shoulders. I mean,
<v Speaker 2>he looked more fit than Arnold Schwarzenator. He was just
<v Speaker 2>a big logger like Paul Bunyan. And he said, I
<v Speaker 2>used to live up there on that mountain. And he
<v Speaker 2>said to mountain with the fire tower. And I was like,
<v Speaker 2>I've been trying to get to that mountain, but there's
<v Speaker 2>a gate block there. He's like, that's my gate. That's
<v Speaker 2>what that gate there. Some people won't go up there
<v Speaker 2>and climb on the fire tower because teenagers kept going
<v Speaker 2>out there and playing on the fire tower, and if
<v Speaker 2>anybody gets hurt, we'll get in trouble, you know, possible.
<v Speaker 2>But he said I lived up there and this was
<v Speaker 2>you know, he had no recollection of how many years
<v Speaker 2>or whatever, so I just figured it was about twenty
<v Speaker 2>years ago something like that, you know. He said he
<v Speaker 2>heard a ruckus at his at the feeder right beside
<v Speaker 2>the barn where he had the horses, and he didn't
<v Speaker 2>have horses no more, but the feeder still had some
<v Speaker 2>old some feet in it. He heard a ruckus, and
<v Speaker 2>he came out with a three figures. He said. There
<v Speaker 2>was a really tall one, there was a little bit
<v Speaker 2>shorter one, and then there was a short one that
<v Speaker 2>was about his size. And this guy's about sixty two
<v Speaker 2>sixty three, you know, and that was the shortest one.
<v Speaker 2>He said. I shouted at their face, and they weren't
<v Speaker 2>no they weren't no bear. I seen bear, and they
<v Speaker 2>weren't no bear. He said. This thing had a face
<v Speaker 2>and it was black and its eyes were greenish orange.
<v Speaker 2>Flashback at me, he said. The tallest one just grunted
<v Speaker 2>at me and locked eyes with me and kept staring
<v Speaker 2>at me as the other two slowly backed up across
<v Speaker 2>the field, and then halfway across the field, turned around
<v Speaker 2>and just walked north, and he said the very same thing.
<v Speaker 2>Walk They got halfway across and it turned around and
<v Speaker 2>walked into the tree line, and I said, that's pretty awesome.
<v Speaker 2>That's the stuff I want to hear. I said, that's
<v Speaker 2>where I want to camp. I said, can I camp
<v Speaker 2>up there? He's like, well, he's like, it's not my property.
<v Speaker 2>He's like, none of this is my property. I just
<v Speaker 2>take care of it. And he's like, so, I can't
<v Speaker 2>give your permission to stay out there. And he didn't
<v Speaker 2>know me that well. I told him I don't hunt.
<v Speaker 2>I'm not out there to kill anything. I'm just out
<v Speaker 2>here to explore and camp. That's it. It's out here
<v Speaker 2>to get away from the city and enjoy myself. And
<v Speaker 2>he's like, but you can stay down here, you know.
<v Speaker 2>So he gave me a few spots I could stay,
<v Speaker 2>just to test me out, to see if I was
<v Speaker 2>going to trash the place or if I was gonna,
<v Speaker 2>you know, bring other people out there and have parties
<v Speaker 2>or people on side by side. Because he's like, I
<v Speaker 2>don't allow people out here. I run anybody office got
<v Speaker 2>side by sides. And he's like, but if you're going
<v Speaker 2>to stay by yourself and not bring anybody out there,
<v Speaker 2>He's like, you can stay down over by the creek.
<v Speaker 2>So we go down the Pine Creek, which was pretty cool.
<v Speaker 2>I stayed down there for about six weeks, camped fish,
<v Speaker 2>you know, ate a lot of catfish out the out
<v Speaker 2>of the creek, and a lot of smoothies. I mean
<v Speaker 2>I had this little generator with me and a smoothie
<v Speaker 2>maker and protein powder and oatmeal, and then go into
<v Speaker 2>town and get the name thing. I didn't eat meat
<v Speaker 2>so much, and berries that I picked and the fish
<v Speaker 2>that I caught. And I was out there, I don't
<v Speaker 2>know about five weeks, and I would just sit there
<v Speaker 2>and watch the tree line, watch the watch the ridge,
<v Speaker 2>you know, just for anything that's different, anything to changes.
<v Speaker 2>One day. This is probably three weeks in. There was
<v Speaker 2>a cave, not pretty big, across the creek. It was
<v Speaker 2>on a hill. It was just too steep to walk up.
<v Speaker 2>So even if you went across the creek, you weren't
<v Speaker 2>unless there was a rope hanging down, it weren't you
<v Speaker 2>was to go to climb up to that. And I
<v Speaker 2>had my video camera that had the nice zoom on it,
<v Speaker 2>and I'm checking what this was. It is weird, but
<v Speaker 2>the sun was hitting it just right, and I saw
<v Speaker 2>colors in the in that in that little cave that
<v Speaker 2>didn't match up to rocks or anything else. It was
<v Speaker 2>just a tannish grayish color. And I zoomed in on
<v Speaker 2>it with my video camera and there was a face
<v Speaker 2>looking at me. But it wasn't a bigfoot. It was
<v Speaker 2>a mountain lion and her cub, come to find out,
<v Speaker 2>a mountain lion, and the cub was like lived in
<v Speaker 2>that cave across the way. But I never saw any
<v Speaker 2>tracks or anything on my side. But we did find
<v Speaker 2>tracks on the other side, full sized mountain lion tracks.
<v Speaker 2>And then you know, kitt't mountain lion tracks, and they
<v Speaker 2>took down a deer on that side. And this was
<v Speaker 2>like that's about five weeks after I was there. Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>and Bill told me, He's like, yeah, you don't want
<v Speaker 2>to mess with no mountain line. I'm like, yeah, that's
<v Speaker 2>for sure. I had a pistol with man. I had
<v Speaker 2>a three eighty versa, but just for protection, you know
<v Speaker 2>from from mainly four or mountain lion. You know, that's
<v Speaker 2>the only two things that I would worry about. And
<v Speaker 2>one morning I got up early, so I had to
<v Speaker 2>go pee or a big bag. So I got up
<v Speaker 2>early just as the you know, sun was coming up. Normally,
<v Speaker 2>I waited until the sun was up for a moment
<v Speaker 2>before I even got out of my jeep or out
<v Speaker 2>of the tracker. I had a little bad tent that
<v Speaker 2>folded out from the back of the tracker, and I
<v Speaker 2>stayed in it. You know, as soon as before the
<v Speaker 2>sun went down. He went in because of the mosquitos,
<v Speaker 2>and then if you came out too early, got ate
<v Speaker 2>up by mosquito. So I just stayed in there. Well,
<v Speaker 2>this time I got out early and I saw something
<v Speaker 2>out of the corner of my eye that's pretty big,
<v Speaker 2>jumped down out of a tree, and I don't know
<v Speaker 2>if it was the mountain lion or what. But about
<v Speaker 2>five minutes later from the other side of the I'm like, WHOA,
<v Speaker 2>don't make noise like that, because if they do, make
<v Speaker 2>noise like that, because they get eaten. So that's the track.
<v Speaker 2>You couldn't see any tracks, no mountain lion tracks, no
<v Speaker 2>big giants foot big foot footprint tracks or anything like that.
<v Speaker 2>So I'm like, yeah, probably no big deal. And I
<v Speaker 2>went back up and told Bill you know about it,
<v Speaker 2>and told him about the mountain lion across the way,
<v Speaker 2>and he's like, well, I wouldn't be staying down there
<v Speaker 2>by yourself if there's a mountain lion across the creek.
<v Speaker 2>And he's like, especially if she's got a baby, because
<v Speaker 2>she's going to be very protective on that. He's like,
<v Speaker 2>if you want, yeah, yeah, you're probably right. So he's like,
<v Speaker 2>if you want to stay over this other spot. So
<v Speaker 2>I went over this other spot stay. I stayed there
<v Speaker 2>for maybe a week. Nothing happened. And after that week
<v Speaker 2>I went up to his cabin to go visit him,
<v Speaker 2>and he was off feeding the cows and doing stuff
<v Speaker 2>for the day. So I decided to take a hike
<v Speaker 2>on top of his mountain. And I took a hike
<v Speaker 2>maybe three miles four miles, and a bunch of hogs medios.
<v Speaker 2>You know, it's like, we'll worre's the big hogs. Some
<v Speaker 2>of these hogs are huge up here, and I don't
<v Speaker 2>want to get attacked. You know, my little three eighties
<v Speaker 2>is not going to be any state compared to one
<v Speaker 2>of these big hogs. And I didn't see any big hogs.
<v Speaker 2>So I made a little bit of noise of the
<v Speaker 2>small ones that hear me, and they took up. So
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, yeah, that was pretty cool, know, and walked
<v Speaker 2>up another i don't know, about one hundred yards and
<v Speaker 2>about fifty feet from me in the in the woods
<v Speaker 2>to the right, a big old crack, big old branch cracked,
<v Speaker 2>and I'm just like, whoa about that. That's pretty weird,
<v Speaker 2>you know. So I stopped right there, I waved over
<v Speaker 2>to that side and said, hey, no problem, I'm turning around.
<v Speaker 2>I'm leaving. So I turned around, started walking back and
<v Speaker 2>got about two miles about halfway back, and there was
<v Speaker 2>a turkey feather. You know, there's a turkey feather in
<v Speaker 2>the in the path right there where you know, planes planes,
<v Speaker 2>you could see, you know, a turkey feather just sitting
<v Speaker 2>right there in the path. I picked it up in
<v Speaker 2>no way, said thank you, kept walking, went back and
<v Speaker 2>about then about that time, you know, and it was getting
<v Speaker 2>pretty late in the year, starting to get hot. So
<v Speaker 2>I figured, you know, this is enough for me. So
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to go back to Oklahoma City and stay till,
<v Speaker 2>you know, stay there for a while to explore other
<v Speaker 2>places and I'll come back, you know, in the springtime.
<v Speaker 2>So I did that and explored a lot when other
<v Speaker 2>places finished the Oklahoma Adventure Trail, and about February, about
<v Speaker 2>the end of February, I went back out and that
<v Speaker 2>time Bill was like, I was like, I want to
<v Speaker 2>stay a flat top. That's where I want to stay.
<v Speaker 2>And I said, that's the only place I want to stay.
<v Speaker 2>So it's like, all right. He never taken me up
<v Speaker 2>there before. He's like all right, He's like, but she
<v Speaker 2>had like four four wheelers and basing its going to
<v Speaker 2>hop on in this four wheeler and I'm gonna I'm
<v Speaker 2>gonna go show you some stuff. So we went to
<v Speaker 2>this one place and he's like, this place where you're
<v Speaker 2>gonna we're probably gonna find arrowheads. So he's like, look around,
<v Speaker 2>and I mean, I wasn't there five minutes and I
<v Speaker 2>found a perfect arrowhead, which was crazy. That was awesome.
<v Speaker 2>So I found an arrowhead that was like the greatest
<v Speaker 2>thing in the world, you know. So I kept that
<v Speaker 2>and he's like, well, he's like that, I'm gonna take
<v Speaker 2>you where you want to go, and you got to
<v Speaker 2>promise me you'll leave it exactly the way you found it.
<v Speaker 2>He's like, he's like, I asked. I asked the family,
<v Speaker 2>and they're like, if you think it's okay, you know
<v Speaker 2>it's okay, you can stay up there. And I said, plus,
<v Speaker 2>if anybody comes up there, they're having problem with people
<v Speaker 2>on side by side coming up there and stuff like that. Said,
<v Speaker 2>I'll run people off, you know, if anybody comes up
<v Speaker 2>there too, so you won't have to worry about that.
<v Speaker 2>And he already knew that nobody was going to come
<v Speaker 2>up there that I knew. I wasn't going to bring
<v Speaker 2>nobody up there like that. So he's like, come on,
<v Speaker 2>we're going to the top of the mountain where I
<v Speaker 2>saw where you want to stay. And I'm not going
<v Speaker 2>to tell you the name of the mountain, but it's
<v Speaker 2>cool mountain. I mean, when you get up there to
<v Speaker 2>cut your compass goes wacky. And it's the only place
<v Speaker 2>in all those mountains that you had cell service, which
<v Speaker 2>was weird. You know. I still had a lot of
<v Speaker 2>his stuff in the cap and it was a little
<v Speaker 2>run down. The screens are torn and some of the
<v Speaker 2>woods fallen down. I was like, you know what, I'll
<v Speaker 2>make it look like. I'll fix the screens. I'll put
<v Speaker 2>new screens up, I'll put new slaps up, you know.
<v Speaker 2>And they had a saw mill. He had a homemade
<v Speaker 2>saw mill, but he would cut you know, wood, and
<v Speaker 2>you know the trim. When you had first cut the log,
<v Speaker 2>you cut the top off, you know, the rounded part,
<v Speaker 2>you'd turn it, cut the other side off, and turn
<v Speaker 2>it at the other side off. There was perfectly square.
<v Speaker 2>Then you cut out you know, good pieces of wood.
<v Speaker 2>So I took all the rounded pieces and took them
<v Speaker 2>back up there and used my generator with a skill
<v Speaker 2>saw and then uh texts the tap and up a little.
<v Speaker 2>I was out there for a good five months. I
<v Speaker 2>was out there from the end of February of July,
<v Speaker 2>which was really neat, you know, just living off of
<v Speaker 2>everything that I could find, plus going into town every
<v Speaker 2>now and then getting through stuff stuff for smoothies and gas.
<v Speaker 2>And he's like, well, when I first got when he
<v Speaker 2>first took me up there, he's like, he's like, he
<v Speaker 2>didn't expect me to stay very long. And within the
<v Speaker 2>first like week or so, oh, I started seeing things.
<v Speaker 2>I got up in the middle of the night, can
<v Speaker 2>go pee, and something big and white on the other
<v Speaker 2>side of the cabin. I could see over the top
<v Speaker 2>of the cabin. It's just a flash of white and disappeared,
<v Speaker 2>and I'm like, that's pretty weak. And that was that
<v Speaker 2>was white white, you know, or gray wild or you know,
<v Speaker 2>like somebody's an old person's turned white. It's kind of
<v Speaker 2>what it looks like. And I saw that and not
<v Speaker 2>a whole lot of activity though. It just kind of
<v Speaker 2>a few weird things, and not until I want to say,
<v Speaker 2>the middle of June. Yeah, about the middle of June.
<v Speaker 2>It was a full moon. And at this time I
<v Speaker 2>sold my Chark Glums City, I sold my tracker, and
<v Speaker 2>I bought a jeep chair. This time I had a jeep.
<v Speaker 2>When I'm back up there and I come out of
<v Speaker 2>my jeep to go pee, and I had my powerful
<v Speaker 2>flashlight and as I did every night, if I had
<v Speaker 2>to come out go pee here, I shine it everywhere. Well,
<v Speaker 2>this time I shin ended around and in the field
<v Speaker 2>on the other side of the cabin, or actually on
<v Speaker 2>the other side of the fire traper, on the other
<v Speaker 2>side of the fire tower. There were four slaps on
<v Speaker 2>the top of the feeder in the middle of the night.
<v Speaker 2>It's just like one, two, three, four, we go slaps,
<v Speaker 2>and I'm just like, wow, that is awesome, because I
<v Speaker 2>know the vehicle or anything like that the bottom of
<v Speaker 2>the mountain to get up there, so you know, I
<v Speaker 2>was just like this is awesome. I'm like that, that's awesome.
<v Speaker 2>So I stepped there for about thirty minutes outside of
<v Speaker 2>my jeep and was talking towards that direction, you know,
<v Speaker 2>just saying, you know, hey, guys, how's it going. You know,
<v Speaker 2>don't mind me. I'm just here hanging out, you know,
<v Speaker 2>just rambling on about stuff. And then after about thirty
<v Speaker 2>forty minutes, I got back and didn't really hear anything
<v Speaker 2>else for a couple of days, and I decided to
<v Speaker 2>leave some crackers. There was there was old vehicles right
<v Speaker 2>inside the tree line. There were old trucks, like I
<v Speaker 2>mean from the forties, thirties, forties and fifties back in
<v Speaker 2>the tree line, and I decided to leave some crackers
<v Speaker 2>on one of the the top, you know, the hood
<v Speaker 2>of one of the trucks. Came back and checked the
<v Speaker 2>next they were gone. So this time I left some crackers.
<v Speaker 2>I spread some dirt around and I let some crackers
<v Speaker 2>up there to see if their crows were getting number
<v Speaker 2>of the en barnments were getting them. Next day I
<v Speaker 2>come back, the dirt was not disturbed and the crackers
<v Speaker 2>were I'm like, that's pretty cool. So what what could
<v Speaker 2>this be? Which I already had an idea, so at
<v Speaker 2>that time I didn't leave anything. That evening, right before
<v Speaker 2>the sun went down, it was about I don't know,
<v Speaker 2>about seven thirty eight o'clock, and something slapped the top
<v Speaker 2>of the truck. I'm like, what the heck or just
<v Speaker 2>slapped it and out there, you know, noise echoed forever,
<v Speaker 2>and I'm like, that's awesome. So I immediately throw the
<v Speaker 2>jeep over there before the sun went completely down, unless
<v Speaker 2>the crackers on them on the gee or on the
<v Speaker 2>old truck. And I was actually staying right at the
<v Speaker 2>spot he said he saw the big foot, And then
<v Speaker 2>I was constantly watching the tree line ever seeing the day.
<v Speaker 2>Didn't really see something slapping big and and there's not
<v Speaker 2>like that. So I kept leaving crackers, and then once
<v Speaker 2>every other day or so, I wouldn't leave crackers. And
<v Speaker 2>every time every time I did not leave crackers or
<v Speaker 2>a banana or something on that hood, it would slap
<v Speaker 2>the top of the hood. In the evening, it blows
<v Speaker 2>me away. This is awesome. It's communicating with me whatever
<v Speaker 2>it is telling me. Whereas my crackers. And one evening
<v Speaker 2>I was picking there was an awesome BlackBerry bush that big, old, fat,
<v Speaker 2>seedless blackberries on it. I had picked those every so
<v Speaker 2>often and eat them. And one night evening I was
<v Speaker 2>gonna make my evening smoothie and I didn't have my
<v Speaker 2>bananas or anything. So I picked picking blackberries and it
<v Speaker 2>slapped the top of the hood even though I left
<v Speaker 2>crackers out there while I was picking those blackberries. So
<v Speaker 2>it's like, well, crap, I'm picking his blackberries. Maybe whatever
<v Speaker 2>it is, I'm picking his blackberries. So I picked a
<v Speaker 2>full cup of blackberries and took it over there and
<v Speaker 2>put it on the hood of the car. Next day,
<v Speaker 2>they were gone, the cup and everything was gone, no
<v Speaker 2>cup laying anywhere. That's even cooler, you know, because something
<v Speaker 2>would just eat out of the cup and leave the
<v Speaker 2>cup somewhere, you know, right there. And this went on
<v Speaker 2>for a while, and one day it rained really hard
<v Speaker 2>and I'm sitting in my gee and it was about
<v Speaker 2>four point thirty five o'clock in the evening, so the
<v Speaker 2>sun was hitting trees like listening, and of course, got
<v Speaker 2>nothing else to do because it's sprinkling and rain. And
<v Speaker 2>the rain stopped, and I keep watching the tree line
<v Speaker 2>and I see these two orageous green reflections in a
<v Speaker 2>tree that are not moving independently like all the other leaves.
<v Speaker 2>You know, you see all the other leaves moving this
<v Speaker 2>way and that way, all independently. Well, this is two
<v Speaker 2>set ones that aren't moving like all the rest of
<v Speaker 2>the leaves. They're kind of wide apart, and they're orange,
<v Speaker 2>just green like somebody's sunglasses. And I'm like, some of them,
<v Speaker 2>you know what, somebody is in a tree stand across
<v Speaker 2>there watching me with sunglasses on. I'm like, that's ridiculous.
<v Speaker 2>So I go in the cabin and I get one
<v Speaker 2>of the rifles and I pull the scope off the rifles,
<v Speaker 2>point a rifle with anybody that might have been up
<v Speaker 2>there on the seat. I pop it up on my
<v Speaker 2>jeek door and I zero in on the two green things.
<v Speaker 2>And there's a big black spot too, I mean a
<v Speaker 2>huge black spot in the trees. Then I see it
<v Speaker 2>was a face. It's just like the guy said he
<v Speaker 2>saw in the middle of the night with the flashlight,
<v Speaker 2>two greenish orange eyes. I saw a face there's blackish
<v Speaker 2>blue face with I saw the eyebrows, I saw the
<v Speaker 2>crow's feet on either side of the eyes. I saw
<v Speaker 2>the nose, I saw the mouth, the cheeks, the cheek phones,
<v Speaker 2>the jawline, the hair on its head. Its hair was
<v Speaker 2>blackish blue, shiny, and I mean it was as nice
<v Speaker 2>as my husky's hair. It wasn't matted, it wasn't nasty,
<v Speaker 2>it wasn't gross. It was really nicely groomed. I mean everything.
<v Speaker 2>If I talk about everything, and the world isn't like
<v Speaker 2>it is, the world is different than what they tell us.
<v Speaker 2>And this is what I'm thinking in my head. And
<v Speaker 2>I followed its arm down to its shoulders, didn't really
<v Speaker 2>have a neck, its hairline foot down to its shoulders.
<v Speaker 2>Its shoulders were really wide. It was in a tree
<v Speaker 2>about eight ten foot up in a tree, holding onto
<v Speaker 2>a tree, and its right hand was holding onto the tree.
<v Speaker 2>I followed this arm all the way today, just like
<v Speaker 2>it was right in front of my face with a
<v Speaker 2>rifle scope, and I could see it had a hand
<v Speaker 2>just like us. It didn't claws or anything like that.
<v Speaker 2>It had fingernails that was well groomed. They weren't long,
<v Speaker 2>they weren't dirty. It had wrinkles on every knuckle, just
<v Speaker 2>like we do. It just looked like a big black
<v Speaker 2>human hand black black blueish black. It was so black,
<v Speaker 2>like gun barrel blue. And I'm just like, this is awesome.
<v Speaker 2>I saw it was had two fingers holding onto the tree,
<v Speaker 2>and I couldn't see its feet. I couldn't see its legs.
<v Speaker 2>I could just see part of its chest, its right
<v Speaker 2>arm and head and face in hand. I'm like wow.
<v Speaker 2>So I sat there for like forty minutes with my
<v Speaker 2>one eye squinted. I couldn't move. I didn't want to
<v Speaker 2>move because I didn't want to ever lose sight of
<v Speaker 2>this thing and not see it again. I didn't want
<v Speaker 2>to blink. But of course, after squinting one eye looking
<v Speaker 2>through a scope for that long, you just can't keep
<v Speaker 2>it up. So I repositioned myself, rubbed my eye and
<v Speaker 2>zero back in on it, and it repositions itself. When
<v Speaker 2>I did that, it didn't move the whole time, and
<v Speaker 2>I think it was the same way. You know, it
<v Speaker 2>didn't want to move either, And but the whole time
<v Speaker 2>its head was moving so slow back and forth that
<v Speaker 2>its eye, one eye would disappear behind the tree. And
<v Speaker 2>I don't only see one eye and then really slow.
<v Speaker 2>I mean it takes thirty forty to fifty seconds, and
<v Speaker 2>it would move back out and you can see both
<v Speaker 2>its eyes and its whole face, and then it would
<v Speaker 2>move back real slow. I mean this thing moves so
<v Speaker 2>slow that you could barely tell that it was moving.
<v Speaker 2>If it's eye wouldn't have disappeared behind the tree. And
<v Speaker 2>that's what gave it away. At the first place that
<v Speaker 2>the we kept disappearing, one of the glowing greeness orange
<v Speaker 2>things that disappear and come back out then go back
<v Speaker 2>and forth real slow, and it repositioned itself and its
<v Speaker 2>whole hand thumb all five fingers I could see on
<v Speaker 2>that holding onto the tree. And now I saw the
<v Speaker 2>whole hand, which was so cool. I mean, this was
<v Speaker 2>I was just like that had a face like a human,
<v Speaker 2>so it wasn't a protruding mouth or jaw or anything
<v Speaker 2>like a gorilla or a monkey. It was like us.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it was a flat face. It had a
<v Speaker 2>wide nose just like us. It had cheekbones, you know who.
<v Speaker 2>John Amos is an old football player from the seventies.
<v Speaker 2>Good times, right, good times, yeah, good times. The old
<v Speaker 2>sitcom in the seventies Good Times with J. J. Walker
<v Speaker 2>and John Amos. It had a face just like John Amos,
<v Speaker 2>That's what it looked like, which of course he's a
<v Speaker 2>black guy. And that was so awesome. It was so human,
<v Speaker 2>Like I was just blown away. I'm like, these things
<v Speaker 2>don't look like gorillas at all. And I'm like, I've
<v Speaker 2>got to go back in that area, but I'm not
<v Speaker 2>going to walk back in the area. And I like,
<v Speaker 2>us is getting restless, it's fun, and I'm like, i
<v Speaker 2>gotta go back up and then Harry, so I go.
<v Speaker 2>The next day, I mean, this happened. I kept watching,
<v Speaker 2>we were watching each other, it was watching me. I
<v Speaker 2>was walking my Jple into bed the happiest and I'm
<v Speaker 2>dating at all. To tell that, I hope I didn't
<v Speaker 2>say his name. I think I slipped instead of his name.
<v Speaker 2>The next day, I went up to the to the
<v Speaker 2>cabin to talk to him and told him about it,
<v Speaker 2>and I said, I saw what he saw. They was
<v Speaker 2>watching me in the tree line. I was like, I
<v Speaker 2>want to explore back in there, but I don't want
<v Speaker 2>to walk. You know, I'm not going to hike back
<v Speaker 2>up in there. That kind of freaked me out. To
<v Speaker 2>be on foot. Why, I don't know, because and ATV
<v Speaker 2>is not going to help me out any If anything
<v Speaker 2>wants to get me, how fast thing we're I'm going
<v Speaker 2>to be able to go. So I was like, okay,
<v Speaker 2>he's like, there's an old ATV up on that mountain.
<v Speaker 2>He showed me where it was at. He's like, you
<v Speaker 2>get it running, put some tires on it. You can
<v Speaker 2>ride it all you want. Absolutely, heck yeah. So I
<v Speaker 2>pulled the old ATV out. There's a Honda four track
<v Speaker 2>or something like that. I pulled it out of the
<v Speaker 2>It was overgrown with grass and everything else. So I
<v Speaker 2>pulled it and the carburetor all the gas out of
<v Speaker 2>the but that sucker started right up. I had to
<v Speaker 2>kick started because the starter didn't work and the battery
<v Speaker 2>was that dead. But three kicks has started right up
<v Speaker 2>and it's been sitting who knows how long. Because he
<v Speaker 2>had no concept of time, I could just imagine. So
<v Speaker 2>immediately I went into town. I got on eBay and
<v Speaker 2>ordered four tires for it. Then four days later they
<v Speaker 2>show up and his sisters and brother's house and in town,
<v Speaker 2>and I went and picked him up and we put
<v Speaker 2>the tires on the ride I got it married up,
<v Speaker 2>and the next day I'm like, I'm gonna go explore
<v Speaker 2>back in there, so I was ready to go. I
<v Speaker 2>packed me at lunch. I packed me some water and
<v Speaker 2>put it in my backpack and rode over there to
<v Speaker 2>that area and went through the gate and I didn't
<v Speaker 2>get fifty yards into it, and there was this big
<v Speaker 2>friar patch that looked like a dome and I couldn't
<v Speaker 2>see around the other side of it. So I'm slowly
<v Speaker 2>going around the other side of it. And apparently it
<v Speaker 2>didn't expect me to be back up in there, you know,
<v Speaker 2>because nobody has been in those areas for well over
<v Speaker 2>twenty years. And that's you know, that's what I where
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to be places where nobody's gone for really
<v Speaker 2>was which I know what it was, and it was
<v Speaker 2>sleeping and I didn't see it because it threw I mean,
<v Speaker 2>it threw adult truck load of dirt and leaves and
<v Speaker 2>sticks in my face just you know, I just got
<v Speaker 2>hit with a wave, like a gust of wind, blew
<v Speaker 2>up a whole bunch of stuff in my face. And
<v Speaker 2>by the time I collected myself, like you know, it
<v Speaker 2>startled me and then I had stuff in my eyes
<v Speaker 2>and it was covered with stuff. By the time I
<v Speaker 2>collected myself, there was nothing there. And so I'm like,
<v Speaker 2>that was awesome, you know, scared the poop out of me,
<v Speaker 2>you know, And I said, but it didn't attack me.
<v Speaker 2>This directed me so I could get out of there,
<v Speaker 2>and it just poofed disappeared. I didn't see it run.
<v Speaker 2>I didn't see where the upper no foliage or anything
<v Speaker 2>like that. That's everything. But here in Oklahoma, while they're
<v Speaker 2>in Oklahoma, you could pretty much walk through it because
<v Speaker 2>nothing got to the ground, nothing grew in the ground
<v Speaker 2>and stuff out of the briars. And I didn't see
<v Speaker 2>it go anywhere, which was pretty weird, like, well, where
<v Speaker 2>the heck didn't they go? You know? So I went.
<v Speaker 2>It was prettybe twenty thirty acres and I went around
<v Speaker 2>the fence line, and then I zigzagged all the way
<v Speaker 2>back through it, just as zigzag back and forth, just
<v Speaker 2>to see what I could see on this ATV. Didn't
<v Speaker 2>see anything. I didn't see tracks or anything like that
<v Speaker 2>because the leaves and stuff on the ground again kind
<v Speaker 2>of like the pine needles, it was just soft cushion,
<v Speaker 2>and you really what dirt you particularly see if there
<v Speaker 2>was track. I'm not an Indian tracker or anything like that,
<v Speaker 2>so you know, I could track things if there's dirt
<v Speaker 2>or sand or something like that. I could track deer,
<v Speaker 2>I could track hog, you know, track cats, track whatever,
<v Speaker 2>coyotes and another thing. Almost every night I could howl
<v Speaker 2>and I would get right in the tree line. I
<v Speaker 2>would And one night, so I was up wind from everything,
<v Speaker 2>and I saw a whole pack of hogs and these hogs,
<v Speaker 2>I mean, the grass was four foot high and I
<v Speaker 2>could see the backs of the hogs over the top
<v Speaker 2>of these this grass. They were so big, it was crazy.
<v Speaker 2>They were so big. And I heard coyotes and the
<v Speaker 2>next thing, you know, the coyotes went after a small
<v Speaker 2>hog and they were taking down the small hogs. So
<v Speaker 2>you were hearing coyotes going after a hog that was
<v Speaker 2>squealing like crazy. And then you hear these giant hogs
<v Speaker 2>just snorting like crazy, trying to save the thing squealing.
<v Speaker 2>And this went on for like forty five minutes from
<v Speaker 2>dust until the sun was down. And crazy noise. You think,
<v Speaker 2>you think two cats fighting in the city's crazy noise.
<v Speaker 2>This is like the most horrific noise you could you
<v Speaker 2>could listen to. But it was awesome. And but anyway
<v Speaker 2>back to the so I think zagged back through there,
<v Speaker 2>never saw anything, didn't see anything else. And I'm like, well,
<v Speaker 2>well poop, you know. So I went back to my
<v Speaker 2>camp and that's getting hungry. That made me a smooth
<v Speaker 2>And just as I was about to take a drink
<v Speaker 2>of my smoothie in the tree line right there where
<v Speaker 2>I was at where I went to it, got stuff
<v Speaker 2>thrown in my face. A big old branch cracked, just cracked.
<v Speaker 2>So then I realized they cracked branches, that's their territory.
<v Speaker 2>Stay out. Won't go back there again. I won't bother
<v Speaker 2>you again. And every evening at the same time, it
<v Speaker 2>was in that tree watching me and every evening until
<v Speaker 2>July sixth, So for about three weeks we every evening
<v Speaker 2>we watched each other. I saw this thing in the
<v Speaker 2>tree every evening, which was pretty awesome. And that's about
<v Speaker 2>the time July sixth to July like third or something,
<v Speaker 2>my sister called and said, hey, you know, can you
<v Speaker 2>come to Florida help me out? And because my brother
<v Speaker 2>in law, her husband passed away, and I'm like, you know, absolutely,
<v Speaker 2>it was up to one hundred and sixteen degrees. Anyways,
<v Speaker 2>it was getting hot, and I had well water. I
<v Speaker 2>had a generator there that could start up and pump
<v Speaker 2>up some well water. I filled up a horse trough
<v Speaker 2>and I would sit in that horse trough for three
<v Speaker 2>hours out of the day to cool off, and then
<v Speaker 2>in the equal of I cold walk crazy and I
<v Speaker 2>would cool offt the hour pretty much every evening to
<v Speaker 2>cool off before bed. But every late afternoon till the
<v Speaker 2>sun went down. It was in that tree watching me,
<v Speaker 2>and I was watching it. I don't know how long
<v Speaker 2>beforehand before I actually saw it, was probably washing me
<v Speaker 2>every single day. Anyways, while I was out there, I
<v Speaker 2>just didn't know it. I saw its eyes. And this
<v Speaker 2>one went on for three weeks until I had to leave,
<v Speaker 2>And like the sixth, July sixth was my last day there,
<v Speaker 2>which really made me sad that I was leaving, But
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I really didn't have a choice because it
<v Speaker 2>was so hot, you know, just a camp out there,
<v Speaker 2>and it wasn't even the hottest time of the year yet,
<v Speaker 2>and the end of July and August. The next day,
<v Speaker 2>July sixth, during the day towards the heat was just
<v Speaker 2>talking to it and I caught a glimpse of it
<v Speaker 2>actually that day, off to the left, and it was
<v Speaker 2>standing there off to the left. It was standing on
<v Speaker 2>the ground between two trees, watching me. But I didn't
<v Speaker 2>know it because my I couldn't focus on it because
<v Speaker 2>you know, it didn't move. And then once it moved,
<v Speaker 2>I knew it was there because it went from black
<v Speaker 2>between two trees to green, you know. And I saw
<v Speaker 2>that and I noticed it was over there, so I
<v Speaker 2>and it wasn't very far from either, so I turned
<v Speaker 2>that way because I was watching the tree line. I
<v Speaker 2>turned that way, and I was like, man, you've never
<v Speaker 2>made a noise to me. I said, I would really
<v Speaker 2>love to hear your voice. And this was This wasn't
<v Speaker 2>in the evening this time. No, this wasn't in the evening.
<v Speaker 2>This was like afternoon. And I was like, man, I'd
<v Speaker 2>really love to hear your voice. I gotta leave, so
<v Speaker 2>I don't know when I'm going to be back or
<v Speaker 2>if I'm going to be back, and i'd really love
<v Speaker 2>to hear your voice. Can you just make some noises
<v Speaker 2>and say something. All of a sudden, I heard hop,
<v Speaker 2>So it's like communicated with me by slapping the thing
<v Speaker 2>slapping the truck. Then it communicated me after I specifically
<v Speaker 2>communicated with it. Now ask you a question and it
<v Speaker 2>answered me. But I guess the apparently couldn't talk or
<v Speaker 2>didn't want to make noise, not once did anything how me,
<v Speaker 2>make any aggression towards me, try to run me off
<v Speaker 2>for any reason. But I mean that about made me
<v Speaker 2>cry to hear that. And of course the next morning
<v Speaker 2>I had to pack everything up and leave. But that's
<v Speaker 2>that's pretty much it. I mean, I plan on going
<v Speaker 2>back someday. Someday soon, I plan on going back up there. Well,
<v Speaker 2>I appreciate it. I'm working to stay up there as
<v Speaker 2>long as I want. That's not the greatest story.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, absolutely, And I appreciate them close to where you
<v Speaker 1>were at.
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. I think it was just curiosity they
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I mean that the old guys said, I
<v Speaker 2>can't believe you were up here this long. He's like
<v Speaker 2>the last person was fresh out of the army and
<v Speaker 2>he stayed up here for about four days and he
<v Speaker 2>just he left. He came up and he said, there's
<v Speaker 2>some weird stuff up there. I'm not staying up there,
<v Speaker 2>and he took off and he's like I really can't
<v Speaker 2>believe it lasted that long up there, and I'm like, well,
<v Speaker 2>you know, nothing really was aggressive towards me. I think
<v Speaker 2>it was just more curious. They were watching me, just
<v Speaker 2>like I was watching them. As much as I wanted
<v Speaker 2>to see them, they wanted to see me.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it sounds like it. So they were letting you
<v Speaker 1>know that they were in the area and possibly communicating
<v Speaker 1>with one another and trying to get your attention at
<v Speaker 1>the same time.
<v Speaker 2>Yep. It was pretty neat And I never really heard
<v Speaker 2>any weird sounds, any howls, any grunts, any growls, other
<v Speaker 2>than that last day in the middle of the day,
<v Speaker 2>where you don't hear coyotes, you don't hear pigs, and
<v Speaker 2>you don't hear coyote puffs, you know. I think it
<v Speaker 2>was just mimicking sounds that it heard that it knew,
<v Speaker 2>you know, to communicate with me.
<v Speaker 1>So these creatures would get up into the trees, is
<v Speaker 1>that correct.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they'd climb up about eight ten foot up into
<v Speaker 2>the tree and just sit there. As it was a
<v Speaker 2>crickd tree, so it was a tree with a curving,
<v Speaker 2>wasn't a straight tree that it would sit in all
<v Speaker 2>the time, and it was always in the same tree,
<v Speaker 2>and there was a deer stand right behind it, so
<v Speaker 2>that but it was such an old deer stand. Nobody's
<v Speaker 2>been in that deer stand in twenty something years and
<v Speaker 2>it was made out of wood. But yeah, it would
<v Speaker 2>actually just climb up in that tree and sit there
<v Speaker 2>and watch me every single day.
<v Speaker 1>Why do you think it climbed up that specific tree.
<v Speaker 2>I think it was just because, I mean it was
<v Speaker 2>because it was the only crypt tree. It was a
<v Speaker 2>it was a cryptree, so it was easiest to stand in.
<v Speaker 2>So I figure it standed it was standing on the
<v Speaker 2>park that was heard and it was just easiest to
<v Speaker 2>be up there like that.
<v Speaker 1>I think, Yeah, it sounds like it. So do you
<v Speaker 1>plan on returning to the area and seeing if these
<v Speaker 1>things are still around there?
<v Speaker 2>Oh? Absolutely, I'm going back. I'm I'm actually uh. This
<v Speaker 2>this was an in my book, my first book, which
<v Speaker 2>is called Breakfast with Bigfoot, and it should be in
<v Speaker 2>I've got it finished. I'm working on the format, the
<v Speaker 2>chapter you know, naming the chapters and that type of stuff.
<v Speaker 2>I've already got it already edited and I'm self publishing
<v Speaker 2>it so it'll be on Kindle, Amazon, Apple, and it'll
<v Speaker 2>be in Target. Were the four places the book will
<v Speaker 2>be by the end of this month, by the end
<v Speaker 2>of this month, and it's called Breakfast all right.
<v Speaker 1>I'll be sure to check that out. Breakfast with Bigfoot.
<v Speaker 1>That sounds like a good time.
<v Speaker 2>Why not call it breakfast with Bigfoot? You know, I
<v Speaker 2>just thought that was pretty cool.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, absolutely, all right, Steve. Well, I think you pretty
<v Speaker 1>well covered your experiences and encounters, and you answered most
<v Speaker 1>of the questions that I had written down.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and awesome. Well, I hope you enjoyed it. I
<v Speaker 2>hope everybody else enjoys it. The book has a lot
<v Speaker 2>more in it. The book has a couple stories about
<v Speaker 2>encounters in the area, one from the early eighteen hundreds,
<v Speaker 2>and then another one from the Siege of Hanovia, which
<v Speaker 2>is another story from not too long ago, you know,
<v Speaker 2>I think from I don't even want to say the nineties.
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure, but it was maybe the two thousands,
<v Speaker 2>somewhere along in their early two thousands. And it made wow,
<v Speaker 2>there's a there's a town over there. The name sputs
<v Speaker 2>my mind, but it's really known. They've got they've got
<v Speaker 2>a restaurant, and Bigfoot restaurant where they have big foot
<v Speaker 2>burgers and all kinds of stuff over there. It's pretty
<v Speaker 2>This is southeast Oklahoma, so you just have to look
<v Speaker 2>it up this time. You know, everything that sees this,
<v Speaker 2>you know, that just pushed me to be here, to
<v Speaker 2>be there at the time. So I'm pretty excited about it,
<v Speaker 2>and I'm definitely going back out there. I'll have more
<v Speaker 2>books once. I want to get back out there, and
<v Speaker 2>I want to learn because they're not so yeah, and
<v Speaker 2>staying out there for you know, half the year at
<v Speaker 2>a time. I adapt the winter time over the middle
<v Speaker 2>of summer, so we'll say spring and fall. I'll go
<v Speaker 2>out there and stay for for months at a time.
<v Speaker 2>You know.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Well, if you go back out there, certainly be
<v Speaker 1>careful and contact me if you have any more encounters
<v Speaker 1>in the future.
<v Speaker 2>I will And I also have a guy I'm going
<v Speaker 2>to do it. He said he's been face to face
<v Speaker 2>a big foot. So in the next few days I'm
<v Speaker 2>going to talk to him and I will point in
<v Speaker 2>your way so you can do a podcast with him
<v Speaker 2>as well. He's going to be his experiences are going
<v Speaker 2>to be in my next book. So my next book
<v Speaker 2>is going to be like and he's going to be
<v Speaker 2>in that so I will point in your way have
<v Speaker 2>him get ahold of you.
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Steve, I appreciate that podcast with him as well. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>that sounds good with me. All right, man, Well, I'm
<v Speaker 1>gonna let you go for the evening, and yeah, I
<v Speaker 1>look forward to speaking with you again, and I'm sure
<v Speaker 1>you'll have more experiences to share.
<v Speaker 2>Oh I will. I plan on getting back up there.
<v Speaker 2>This is like, I don't know my passion, and I'm
<v Speaker 2>sure some people feel this way, but this is my passion,
<v Speaker 2>not just to talk about it, but to actually be
<v Speaker 2>out there. And I want to tell you and anybody
<v Speaker 2>else that the way to see them is to be
<v Speaker 2>by yourself and don't move, don't have any distractions, and
<v Speaker 2>just watch the tree lines. But also again, don't mess
<v Speaker 2>around at night, don't go out at night walk it
<v Speaker 2>through the woods looking for him and that type of stuff.
<v Speaker 2>Just that's that's not the way you do it. They
<v Speaker 2>will find you if they want you to see them. Yeah. So,
<v Speaker 2>oh and another time I got gifted antlers. I was
<v Speaker 2>walking the trail. I forgot this one. I was walking
<v Speaker 2>the trail and I had a couple of apples with me,
<v Speaker 2>I ate one, and I left the one in the tree,
<v Speaker 2>and I kept walking and I turned around and came back.
<v Speaker 2>And at that point where I left the apple in
<v Speaker 2>the tree, the apple was gone, and there was it
<v Speaker 2>and it wasn't there. And there was another path towards
<v Speaker 2>a briar patch that was so thick I couldn't watch through,
<v Speaker 2>but I tried. It's like, no, I can't get through this.
<v Speaker 2>But I got gifted a set of antlers, which was
<v Speaker 2>really neat. So they liked me and they wanted me
<v Speaker 2>around up there apparently.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I've heard that from other people as well. All right, Steve. Yeah, well,
<v Speaker 1>I appreciate you for sharing your experiences and we'll speak
<v Speaker 1>again in the future.
<v Speaker 2>All right, awesome, thank you, looking forward to it.
<v Speaker 1>All right, thank you, you have a good night. Mean
<v Speaker 1>all right, Steve, thank you very much for sharing your
<v Speaker 1>bigfoot encounters and experiences from the state of Oklahoma. And
<v Speaker 1>it certainly does sound like an active area. These creatures
<v Speaker 1>do move around, so at times it seems like they
<v Speaker 1>are there, there's a lot going on, and eventually you
<v Speaker 1>go back and nothing happens, and it makes you wonder
<v Speaker 1>what the heck happened to these creatures and where did
<v Speaker 1>they go? That happened with me many years ago and
<v Speaker 1>I was having bigfoot activity. I had a few encounters
<v Speaker 1>and it seemed like every so often something strange happened,
<v Speaker 1>and eventually it was like these things never existed. So
<v Speaker 1>I can see why people become very skeptical of the
<v Speaker 1>existence of sasquatch. And yeah, I apologize guys for the
<v Speaker 1>bad audio. For some reason, the audio was very clipped
<v Speaker 1>and there was a lot of disturbances. So I did
<v Speaker 1>purchase some new gear and I had to put it
<v Speaker 1>on the credit card. This channel is becoming very expensive.
<v Speaker 1>Things are breaking left and right, and nothing electronics seems
<v Speaker 1>to last forever, unfortunately, and it's very expensive, so any
<v Speaker 1>support that you guys can give me would be greatly appreciated.
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, I appreciate everyone for tuning in today and
<v Speaker 1>for all the listeners out there, I hope you guys
<v Speaker 1>are doing well and until the next one, be safe
<v Speaker 1>out in the forest.
